Ogle: The Return of Morcalavin Version 1.0 released.

2 October 2008

Ogle: The Return of Morcalavin story and gameplay/design pages updated.  We're getting close, people!

Okay, I know I just set a release date, and I'm aiming for it, but yesterday I craigslisted the need for a male voice-actor for an elf in Fairbury.  I got a quick response from a guy named Rick.  Now I have an awesome voice-over for the elf.  This gives me extra motivation to make the project as best it can be.  I'll still try to be timely about the release and cut the necessary corners to get this game out by the end of next month (at the latest).

So I've set a release date for Ogle: The Return of Morcalavin:  10 October 2008.  Will the project be where I want it to be by then?  Probably not.  But you'll still have a decent game with nostalgic voice-acting, unique environments and the phoenix bow.

Recently, I've been overhauling the game to make it only playable on "difficult" mode.  This helps the player truly feel like a lowly Ogle, whereby a single monster can kill you fairly easily.  The AI is also better on difficult.  The assassins are more fluid and the palace guards have an extra spell.

In terms of screenshots, I'll post them a week or so before the release.  I'm wanting to put all the time I can into finishing the project itself.

Lep's map begins with the Ogle in a jail cell, so he thought it suitable for all the Ogle's weapons to be taken away.  This required T-Mod's trigger_takeall entity, so I gave Talon a buzz.  Talon not only gave the project trigger_takeall, but also thought we could use the snow effect.  "Sure!" I said.  It's a pretty cool effect, and will be used in Vendia, the seraph ruins of the north.
